Oh gees. Cummings found a microphone. I can’t watch

[Linda Frances]

Throw her in jail.

[Road Warrior ‘04]

Mr. Cummings is a total jerk, racist, lunatic and idiot!

Just expanding your description

[Resettozero]

Anybody have any thoughts on why Issa didn’t call for a contempt vote, given that they’d already voted to determine she’d waived her 5th amendment right?

He's not that smart?

[murrie]

I agree

[machogirl]

I don’t know. That’s a good question. Republican’s (phony=lib-scheme) “War on Women” I suppose.

[Paine in the Neck]

In summary, Lerner took the Fifth ten times in rapid order and Issa adjouned the hearing as useless since she was being unresponsive.

Issa now needs to play serious hardball or look seriously weak.

[az_gila]

Issa accused Cummings of slander

---

Don't they have some sort of immunity in a Congressional setting?

[don-o]

Can this be taken to the Grand Jury?

[crosslink]

Look at the reporters when Cummings is speaking, they are truly lapdogs.

[machogirl]

yep

[murrie]

You are correct.

[Whenifhow]

Bet Issa knew Cummings would blow up - contempt charges could come later.

Cummings is up on ethics charges by the way - charges from Catherine Engelbrecht

[Lazamataz]

He's complicit?

[machogirl]

yep, disgusting isn’t it?

[Mears]

bfl

[Breto]

“Can’t she be charged with contempt?”

The point is the republican establishment isn in the least upset with what she did. she wont ever be charged with anything.

[machogirl]

Feel better. Get better.

[Whenifhow]

Cummings sent 3 letters on House stationery with cc to Issa..to Catherine Engelbrecht. Harassment and ethics charges now against Cummings.

don’t know if you would call it being complicit, but he may be involved somehow.

[Jim Noble]

what can be done

He can give her immunity.

Issa and the rest of the GOP electile dysfunction crew look like such idiots in this.

Looking back at Senator Sam Ervin and Congressman Peter Rodino - there were two politicians who set out to take down a guy who just won a national election with 520 electoral votes and 60.7% of the popular vote.

They understood the need to try the case in the court of public opinion - with a jury that started out heavily against them.

Obama after 2012 was much, MUCH less popular than Nixon in 1972, and yet his opponents were methodical, they were determined, and most importantly, THEY KNEW WHAT THEY WERE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH AND WHAT WAS NECESSARY TO REACH THE GOAL.

Issa and the rest of his crew are like teenaged boys passing around a dirty magazine. They have no long-term objective, no strategy, and no ability to plead their non-case to the public.

With a Republican Sam Ervin and a Republican Peter Rodino, this nightmare would already be over.
